His heartbroken dad Prince Khaled bin Talal bin Abdulaziz confirmed his passing on social media.
He wrote on X: “With hearts believing in Allah’s will and decree, and with deep sorrow and sadness, we mourn our beloved son: Prince Al-Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, may Allah have mercy on him, who passed away today.”
Prince Al-Waleed suffered a brain haemorrhage in 2005 after a car accident while studying at a military college in London.
After the accident, he was hospitalised at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh where he remained in a coma.
His story wasn’t just about royalty, but about a family that never gave up.
They held on for decades with love, prayers, and faith. For two decades, they stood by him, believing in miracles.
Today, he rests in peace.
May God grant him rest.
